East Cliff & Springbourne (electoral ward) sits on the eastern edge of Bournemouth within the unitary authority of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole in England. The ward mixes the dramatic seafront of East Cliff, with its Victorian and Edwardian terraces and cliff-top gardens overlooking the beach, and the more inward, largely residential neighbourhood of Springbourne, which developed as a late‑Victorian suburb.
Locally the area combines a tourism-led economy along the coast with a lively, diverse community in Springbourne - small independent shops, cafés and active community groups are notable features. There’s a clear contrast between the promenading seafront and the tighter, urban streets inland, and the ward has seen steady interest from regeneration projects and local activists keen to balance conservation, housing needs and the visitor economy.
